Re: Dragon Age: Inquisition

[(Anonymous)]

On one hand, I really want to create an Inquisitor already and play the game (though I don't have the time yet atm anyway) but on the other hand, from what I've heard there is just so much "we'll take all kinds of RL SJ issues and stuff'em in the game" that I'm afraid it will be this annoying "let's educate the gamers about SJ instead of having a good plot" thing all through the game. And yeah, no thanks, I have enough shitty things in my real life, I kind of don't want to have to deal with that shit in my escapist fantasy RPG as well.

Doesn't help that I already want to bully half of the companions out of my troupe without having played it. I really could have done without Cullen and especially Leliana and the Bull already annoys the hell out of me just from reading about him.

Well YMMV but I haven't really noticed that? So far the game has felt way lighter in tone than Dragon age 2 despite still dealing with mages vs. templars and the whole rift situation. Most the party conversations I've experienced have been delightful (And the ones that aren't are still well written and enlightening in some way) and Cullen and Cass are way different than I assumed. Same for Bull to an extent.

If you can't or don't want to deal with a serious issue now and then maybe wait and see what people you trust think, but I feel like this game isn't all that different than BioWare's other fare. (Well, bigger and open world, and def better than sone of their other games, but it just feels like a normal progression of this world to me.)

Yeah, maybe it's just the way that certain corners of the fandom have started overemphasising the SJ topics - I wouldn't be surprised. So I'm going to play it anyway, no question, but I'm a bit torn about how much I should anticipate playing it.

And I have to say, one of the main things that really turns me off is the open world thing. I hate open world games like Skyrim, because I always get lost and start doing tons of random shit instead of following the main plot and then I get bored and never touch the game again without finishing it. To each their own, but I hate open world games, I can't enjoy them at all.

Re: Dragon Age: Inquisition

I have no idea what SJ topics you're referring to, but there are a couple things I could see them being happy with (like Krem, for example. I haven't spoken to him much yet, but I'm glad he was included in the game. He's a good character so far). Is there lots of wank, or praise? Either way I think the game is doing a pretty good job of handling things, but I don't see any 'preaching' or whatever. Maybe I'm not the best person to ask though...I don't mind discussion on touchy topics as long as people are reasonable about it.

I hear that the main storyline runs between 60-80 hours, so if you wanted to do mostly that you probably could (and still get a lot of game-play in), but the way this game is set up probably would require you to do some exploring and such in order to level up, so it might not be what you're looking for. I like Skyrim, but I still haven't completed that game for the same reasons; I get distracted and forget about the main story. I don't think that will be as easy to do here, and there's clearly a lot of collecting and quests that are completely optional, but the Skyrim comparisons aren't for nothing.

Actually, about Krem. How is it brought up? Do you have to explictely ask or does the player get told without asking? Because the latter would annoy me, because I really don't care about other peoples' genitals and just bringing it up out of context is a pretty clear sign for this sort of "look how progressive we are!". Also, people in fandom apparently already go ballistic about him, policing how you are supposed to draw him in fanart before anyone ever drew him.

Re: Dragon Age: Inquisition

[elaminator]

I haven't had that conversation yet, so I have no idea when or how exactly it pops up. I saw a vid online a while back but it didn't help with context.

You must've hated Zevran and Isabela, and will probably hate Bull too, lmao. I don't care myself, and don't think of it in that way (trying to win points for being progressive) because lots of folk do like to talk about themselves, and some people are very open about their life or preferences.

The fanart thing does sound kind of annoying, but since I haven't seen it I can't say much about it. Even if the fandom is weird about it that won't change my opinion of the character, though.
